Playing With GI Joe
Song A Day #1701

I wasn't allowed to play with GI Joes
I wasn't allowed to play with guns
And now I'm anti-war, don't you know
And firearms, well, I own none

Am I the product of my parents liberal leanings
Or would I have arrived at all these meanings by myself 

I don't know
I don't know
I don't know

I played with Ninja Turtles and Transformers
I loved New Kids on the Block
And then I loved Nirvana and Bob Dylan and Lou Reed
The radio hits of classic rock

Am I the product of the place and time I grew
Am I just gonna be me, no matter what I do

I don't know
I don't know
I don't know

My gut tells me
That it's fifty fifty 
Environment and damn hard code
All mixing up within me
Different amounts at different times
but in the aggregate
Each side will even out 
Down the the middle it's all split

Sometimes you're into just what you're into
There's no reason and no rhyme
Or some reasons are so complicated
That they would fry your mind

Take all your fetishes, quirks and obsessions
You'll never trace the source of every single one

Cuz 
You don't know
You don't know
You don'y know
